Thanx for the answers.

As far as i know, the Sunni Sufi tariqats also have a clear view on Zahir and Batin. And as i read on the ismaili doctrine, the sufis in general tends to have a similiar setup as the Ismaili-Nizaris.

Briefly...we pray 3 times a day. We do not have an azaan, everyone knows the fixed times of prayer. We have a different form of prayer called Dua. I have not heard the word tarawih. To my knowledge mutah marriages are not performed by Ismailis today.

Taraweeh is extra prayers during ...

okey although i would thin that a powerful man like hassan sabah could use his position with the imam safe inside his castle to promote his values.
although that is a more political controversy. in religious perspective your answer would be correct.

do the ismailis wait for a imam mahdi? or is the ...

okey then

well does that mean that according to ismaili hazrat mohammad saww is not a prophet but a imam mustawda, while hazrat ali (ra) is the prophet and the imam mustaqarr ?

surely i am sunni and this will wake up many questions about this doctrine, although i do not allow the use of inlogical ...

so does this mean that hassan sabah had his influence on the imams who were inside the alamut fortress? becouse it is understood that the old man at the fort were the one who took resposibuilty for the ismaili faith..

well this wakes up interesting questions about the imamat and the prophethood

so what you are saying to me is that hazrat mohammad saww first were a prophet but then was imam, and that the prophethood passed over to hazrat ali (ra) ?

and are these imams mustawda known? i mean is there written ...

pardon me i am asking of quriosity

is mohammad saww regarded as imam mustawda while ali (ra) is given the role of imam mustaqarr?

hazrat isa (as) or better known as jesus , and mohammad (saww) are not related in bloodline as father to son. theyr common forefather is hazrat ibrahim (As) as mohammad saww family tree goes like this

mohammad ibn abdullah ibn abdul mutallib ibn hashim ibn abde manaf ibn qusay ibn kilab ibn kaab ...

In Ismaili tradition there are two kinds of Imams; the actual Imam (Imam Mustaqarr and the entrusted Imam (Imam Mustawda). Imam Hassan was the latter.

so hazrat hussain (ra) inherited the imamate from hazrat ali (ra)? as the imam mustaqarr, while at the same time imam hassan (ra) was the imam ...
